Summary: The best I have owned.
Review: I have had several German dictionaries over the last forty years. This one is the best I have owned and used. Often I want a technical term for some specific field or other. Generally I find it in this volume. I am very pleased with it.

Summary: Great for any student of German
Review: Langenscheidt is always reliable no matter what the language, but, as a German company, you'd expect their German dictionary to be supreme. This one doesn't disappoint. I've lived in Germany and Austria and I can count on one hand the number of times I couldn't find a legitimate word in this dictionary. It even includes such Austrian (i.e. non-standard) words like 'Marille' (apricot) and 'Obers' (cream) and is loaded with phrases I haven't been able to find in any other dictionaries like 'sich um des Kaisers Bart streiten' (to squabble over little things).Besides a 700-page dictionary this book also includes lists of irregular verbs, abbreviations (in German and English), geographical and historical names (also in German and English), musical works and numerals. At the beginning there is a pronounciation guide and in the middle there is a handy weight and measure conversion chart. A necessity for anyone studying German.

Summary: Not Up To Date
Review: This dictionary is dated 1995 and does not reflect the latest spelling reforms. A new edition is badly needed. I'm returning my copy.
